2. 🟠 Bitcoin Hits New All Time Highs

   Bitcoin hit a record $124,457, briefly overtaking Alphabet’s $2.45T market cap to become the fifth largest global asset. Optimism soars as investors predict it could reach $175,000 to surpass Apple, fueled by institutional capital and U.S. policy shifts like the GENIUS Act. The crypto market cap topped $4.1T for the first time.

3.  🇺🇸 Treasury Clarifies Bitcoin Reserve Plans

   US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clarified that the government is working on budget neutral ways to buy Bitcoin for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, reversing earlier comments. The reserve, worth $15-20B, will start with seized Bitcoin.

5. ⚖️ Terraform’s Do Kwon Pleads Guilty to Fraud Charges

   Terraform Labs co founder Do Kwon pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud and conspiracy, facing up to 12 years in prison and $19M in fines.

6. 🎨 NFT Market Soars to $9.3B

   The NFT market cap hit $9.3B, up 40% since July, driven by Ethereum’s rise above $4,600. Top ETH based collections like CryptoPunks ($2.4B) and Pudgy Penguins ($591M) led the charge, with Pudgy Penguins outpacing Bored Ape Yacht Club in weekly trading volume.

Narrative of the Week: Crypto Market Blasts Past $4.2T

The crypto market just smashed through $4.2 trillion, setting fresh all time highs and kicking off what many are calling the next big bull cycle.

BTC & ETH Dominate: Bitcoin hit $124,457 with a $2.43T cap, while Ethereum climbed to $4,781, boosted by $2B in ETF inflows.

Regulation Tailwinds: U.S. approval of the GENIUS, Clarity & Anti-CBDC Acts + Trump’s pro crypto stance = bullish

Macro Push: Low inflation (2.7%) and expected Fed cuts also helped in this move

This isn’t just a pump it’s a macro + regulatory + adoption trifecta. With BTC solid above $100K and altcoins heating up, we could be on track for a 2020-style altseason.
